Join us as we celebrate the opening of our new Sanctuary Women's Development Center in Stockyards City. We will have a ribbon cutting ceremony and blessing of the Sanctuary with Archbishop Paul S. Coakley along with a reception and tour.
THE NEW FACILITY
Over the past 13 years, the Sanctuary Women’s Development Center has led women and children to safety from homelessness.
Careful consideration was made to determine whether it was best to continue in the old mission church and proceed with the many repairs needed, or to rebuild in ways that would not only expand services of Sanctuary but also make the environment more conducive to women who are experiencing trauma. Research suggests that when trauma is treated with support services, healing and long-term recovery is possible.
A feasibility student by Greater Mission concluded the capital campaign would be an obtainable and sufficient means to continue providing a place of safety, shelter and support for our clients. The Catholic Charities Board of Directors voted unanimously to proceed with the campaign.
Sanctuary helps lead the way to a future where home is a place of safety, shelter and support. Our promise is to guarantee these services continue for as long as they are needed and to give them a start at a better life.
